AI Security Review

scanned 26d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically changes the user's global Claude Code control surface. It installs package-controlled instructions and command hooks that run in later Claude sessions.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

npm postinstall during package installation.

Impact

Future Claude sessions can execute this package's commands and receive package-authored instructions without an interactive consent step.

Mechanism

Automatic global Claude configuration and hook installation.

Policy narrative

npm runs the postinstall hook, which invokes the install subcommand. In noninteractive postinstall mode, the command retains automatic defaults and writes package-controlled Claude Code configuration: a skill, statusline, session hooks, document hooks, and potentially a global CLAUDE.md harness block. These changes persist and cause this package's commands and instructions to affect subsequent Claude sessions across projects.

AI rationale

This is an unconsented postinstall mutation of a broad AI-agent control surface. The source makes the persistence automatic rather than requiring an explicit setup command.
